WHAT: ”The Advantages of Implementing Wireless IO”

This hands-on workshop will show attendees how new spread spectrum technologies give users the ability to connect instrumentation in the field without the need for costly wired infrastructure. Attendees will benefit from this presentation by acquiring the information necessary to make wireless IO business decisions.

“Wireless Communication to a Plunger Lift Well”

Traditionally, an operator was required to manually shut in the well to create pressure downhole in wells that suffered from heavy fluid loads.  Artificial lift is a method used to build enough downhole pressure to lift or produce the liquid from the well. With options for communicating plunger lift data to the RTU being wired or wireless, producers have a decision to consider. To support producers’ plunger lift control objectives, automation electronics manufacturers have been focusing a great deal of their development efforts on the plunger lift control applications. Today, these technologies can be supported at the site with either wired or wireless solutions. This presentation will discuss wireless as an alternative to wired solutions.  It presents some of the capabilities of wireless that are on par with wired and some that are superior. Also presented is a simple set of economic inputs that can be used as guidelines for making the choice between wired and wireless options.
